Download or read book Endangered Species Have Feelings Too written by Alexandra Delis-Abrams, Ph.D and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-12-13 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What People Are Saying Youngsters who are animal lovers are our future. I call them Starlion cubs: Stars because they shine so brightly and cubs because they have lion hearts that are so brave and true, they are prepared to do anything for the animals they love. If you have a Starlion cub as your child, you're the luckiest mom or dad in the world, and this special animal lovers' book, Endangered Species Have Feelings Too, is for you. --Linda Tucker Author, Saving the White Lions; Conservationist; CEO, Global White Lion Protection Trust ***** Alexandra Delis-Abrams' book, Endangered Species Have Feelings Too, is certain to become a "primer" for the new generation of children that will be in tune with the animal world around them and thereby experiencing the joy in celebrating their coexistence with them. It will also inspire that generation to honor and revere the breadth of the life force on our planet. We are facing one of humanities greatest challenges as the natural world continues to be degraded. It will be through sensitive and genuine guidance by people like Alexandra that we will prevail. --Urmas Kaldveer, PhD Executive Director, The Mendocino Institute of Science and History Author, The Others: "The Whale People" a Personal Journey of Discovery, Transformation, and Healing ***** The need to educate future generations of the human impact on the natural world is of monumental global importance--as well as discovering how we learn to cooperate and live together on this precious planet. After reviewing this meaningful and relevant book, Endangered Species Have Feelings Too, I see countless ways this can be utilized in the school environment for compassion training and emotional awareness. I applaud Alexandra Delis-Abrams for teaching children how to imagine standing in the shoes of one of these endangered species, as well as how each person's contribution can make a life-changing difference. This is social-emotional-learning at its best and can be appreciated by children and adults worldwide. --Teri McKenna, LMSW School Social Worker, Hailey Elementary School, Hailey, Idaho ***** My appreciation and kudos to Alexandra Delis-Abrams on her new and unique educational/coloring book, Endangered Species Have Feelings Too. As we try to protect the animals that are endangered on our planet for "seven generations," we must start educating this generation now. The wonderful illustrations by Kim Howard and complimentary short stories by Alexandra get the message across to the children and adults that it is respect for the animal kingdom that is so urgently needed today. --Tewatennietha she sends Evans Elder of the Mohawk Nation Kahnawake, Mohawk Territory, Quebec, Canada ***** First, I like to say congratulations for your book. It is very educational, easy to understand, and I really enjoyed the way each endangered species narrated his natural history, important facts, and threats. Well done! As a biologist, I recognize how important and needed books are like this one! Endangered Species Have Feeling Too brings the readers into the perspective of the different reasons why we have critically endangered animals all around the world. Some of the species you selected were new species for me, so reading your book made me aware of the current status of new species, thanks a lot. --Victor M.

Download or read book A Wild Promise An Illustrated Celebration of The Endangered Species Act written by Allen Crawford and published by Tin House Books. This book was released on 2023-08-08 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A LITHUB BEST NONFICTION BOOK OF SUMMER In the powerful introduction Terry Tempest Williams reminds us, "Our wild promise within the Endangered Species Act to protect and keep safe threatened and critically endangered species from extinction can become vows of action." For the past fifty years, this promise, the Endangered Species Act, has ensured that the most threatened and vulnerable species and their habitats are protected. From the Steller sea lion to the ivory-billed woodpecker, from the steelhead trout to the red wolf, this landmark act has worked to preserve the wild beauty that surrounds and sustains us. In A Wild Promise, acclaimed artist Allen Crawford beautifully illustrates over eighty animals that embody the spirit, legacy, and commitment of the Endangered Species Act. In his trademark inventive style, Crawford’s full-color illustrations and illuminated text create a vibrant tapestry of our nation’s habitats—oceans, mountains, deserts, wetlands, prairies, and forests—and the varied species that call these places home. With a powerful and moving introduction by award-winning writer and conservationist Terry Tempest Williams, A Wild Promise is critically urgent and inspirational, lending voice and spirit to all endangered species. A visually delightful, one-of-a-kind work, A Wild Promise is a celebration of conservation, commitment, and compassion—a clarion call to continue to embrace, engage, and act in ways that preserve and protect our living world.

Download or read book Ranching Endangered Species and Urbanization in the Southwest written by Nathan F. Sayre and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2006-02 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ranching is as much a part of the West as its wide-open spaces. The mystique of rugged individualism has sustained this activity well past the frontier era and has influenced how we viewÑand valueÑthose open lands. Nathan Sayre now takes a close look at how the ranching ideal has come into play in the conversion of a large tract of Arizona rangeland from private ranch to National Wildlife Refuge. He tells how the Buenos Aires Ranch, a working operation for a hundred years, became not only a rallying point for multiple agendas in the "rangeland conflict" after its conversion to a wildlife refuge but also an expression of the larger shift from agricultural to urban economies in the Southwest since World War II. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service bought the Buenos Aires Ranch in 1985, removed all livestock, and attempted to restore the land to its "original" grassland in order to protect an endangered species, the masked bobwhite quail. Sayre examines the history of the ranch and the bobwhite together, exploring the interplay of social, economic, and ecological issues to show how ranchers and their cattle altered the landÑfor better or worseÑduring a century of ranching and how the masked bobwhite became a symbol for environmentalists who believe that the removal of cattle benefits rangelands and wildlife. Sayre evaluates both sides of the Buenos Aires controversyÑfrom ranching's impact on the environment to environmentalism's sometimes misguided efforts at restorationÑto address the complex and contradictory roles of ranching, endangered species conservation, and urbanization in the social and environmental transformation of the West. He focuses on three dimensions of the Buenos Aires story: the land and its inhabitants, both human and animal; the role of government agencies in shaping range and wildlife management; and the various species of capitalÑeconomic, symbolic, and bureaucraticÑthat have structured the activities of ranchers, environmentalists, and government officials. The creation of the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge has been a symbolic victory for environmentalists, but it comes at the cost of implicitly legitimizing the ongoing fragmentation and suburbanization of Arizona's still-wild rangelands. Sayre reveals how the polarized politics of "the rangeland conflict" have bound the Fish and Wildlife Service to a narrow, ineffectual management strategy on the Buenos Aires, with greater attention paid to increasing tourism from birdwatchers than to the complex challenge of restoring the masked bobwhite and its habitat. His findings show that the urban boom of the late twentieth century echoed the cattle boom of a century beforeÑcapitalizing on land rather than grass, humans rather than cattleÑin a book that will serve as a model for restoration efforts in any environment.

Download or read book Fish Diversity of Japan written by Yoshiaki Kai and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-21 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reviews and summarizes the studies on the fish diversity of Japan. It covers the present knowledge of ichthyofauna, habitat distribution, phylogeography, ecology, morphology, and conservation, as well as the history of ichthyology and fish collections in Japan. The book comprises five parts: I. Fish Diversity and Ichthyology of Japan, II. Habitat Distribution and Species Diversity, III. Diversity within Species: Phylogeographic Perspective on Japanese Fishes, IV. Morphological and Ecological Diversifications, and V. Conservation of Fish Diversity in Japan. The Japanese Archipelago is surrounded by two major warm and one cold currents. It is located in the western North Pacific and encompasses several climatic regimes from north to south. Although the land area of Japan is small, the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Japan ranks as the sixth largest in the world, including several marginal seas (Sea of Okhotsk, Sea of Japan, and East China Sea), and deep trenches (Izu-Ogasawara, Japan, and Kurile Trenches). Owing to a variety of marine habitats and a complex geological history, Japan has a rich fish species diversity, representing over 4,500 species in 370 families. The richness of fish species diversity has attracted many scientists since the late 1700s, and continuous studies have led to the development of ichthyology in Japan. With chapters written by leading experts in the field, the book will provide a stimulating and reliable resource for future research and contribute to the progress of ichthyology of the world.
